A Study of the States of Life, **Completed 6/19/13**

[Teresa]

I found the last pictures I took along with my notes, so here is a quick update to bring the story up to where the game save is currently...

Week 9-10a

Ginette and Branden get busy and making their spawn



Generation 3, the Genie generation has arrived in the guise of Lucas


Lucas completes his requirements by learning logic and the xylophone and then befriends his parents and his future spouse, Hanne.





Soon enough he is a child heading off to school and sporting pink hair. Hmmm, what was I thinking?

[Tilia]

I think the pink hair is kind of fun!  This is such an efficient account of your challenge!

Great to see you've returned to this story! What career did Lucas join to have both a Culinary and Fishing certificate for his museum pieces?

Great to see you've returned to this story! What career did Lucas join to have both a Culinary and Fishing certificate for his museum pieces?

Thanks.  I have been working for the past week trying to save the file. 

He topped Angler but due to severe glitches (Moonlight Falls) he never had the service award pop up despite sales of well over $100,000.  Once he reached level 10 in the angler career he switched over to culinary.

Baby Werewolves are so cute when they practice hunting.  This is Carson, one of the spares...





Now back to the competition between Adam and Blake...

[Teresa]

Blake has the red hair and is playing with Miranda; Adam is in the middle playing with Kara; Carson is in the red playing with Jelly Bean.  Carson is not eligible to be heir so the race is between Adam and Blake. 

[Teresa]

I am not quite sure how this happened...  the only thing I can think of was I consigned 23 large spires of tiberium along with a lot of other metals and gems that my werewolf collected while looking for pink diamonds and palladium.  The message right after this one, which I did not get a screen capture, said something to the affect that the town's banks were did not have the capacity for this large amount therefore the excess would be "stored in an offshore account".  The family has capped out on cash on hand at $99,999,999.

I really believe this must be a game glitch.  The family had over 7 Million so money was never going to be a problem, but still...



Edit:
Because they are maxed out on family funds I contnue to get the offshore message...
